September 1, 2015
Negative ExperienceNo Offer

Process

Off campus, a kind of drive in their Bangalore office.

  1. Online coding round
  2. Two tech rounds

Other rounds would be:

  • Hiring manager round
  • HR round

Questions

1st round:

In the first round, there was a panel of two people. The first person concentrated on how you choose and use data structures and algorithms in your project. The second person was a Java specialist, focusing on testing Java knowledge.

2nd Round:

In this round, I met a senior member of the team. His behavioral questions were a bit odd, and I didn't feel comfortable with him. He just wanted solutions. He had a bunch of coding questions open on his laptop. Every time I gave him a solution, he compared it to his own. He didn't even know the difference between binary search and searching in a binary search tree, nor the differences between a subsequence and a subarray/substring. Initially, I thought he was testing my confidence by giving me strange looks at my answers, but later, through his behavior, confused expressions, and explanations, I was sure he had completely forgotten even basic binary search. He asked me many other typical HR and basic computer science questions. I couldn't provide a proper solution to one of his coding questions due to the limited time he gave me, but I approached it correctly. Anyway, I was rejected and still don't feel guilty, as I simply don't want to work with a "Give me the solution" guy.
